NEW DELHI: Australia and New Zealand played one of the most entertaining matches of the 2023 ICC World Cup, when the two team produced a match aggregate of 771 runs and the Aussies held their nerve to win a last-over thriller by five runs.
It was a tall order for the Kiwis to chase Australia's 388, but led by Rachin Ravindra's century (116 off 89 balls) and fifties by Daryl Mitchell (54 off 51) and James Neesham (58 off 39), the New Zealanders tried making a match of it by scoring 383/9 and lost the game off the last ball of the match.
